Bio

Mary Crenshaw’s paintings, ceramics, and prints explore themes of migration and the role of chance in creation. Personal experience, observation, and process are central to her work.
Her practice is informed by an interest in mark making and gesture. Working across various mediums, she is influenced by Eastern philosophical concepts, particularly those relating to force versus energy. Her work allows for open-ended interpretations of the final outcomes.

Crenshaw has exhibited nationally and internationally, with solo exhibitions in New York, London, Milan, and Seoul, and participation in group exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. She received a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University, an MFA in Visual Arts from Lesley University College of Art and Design, and a DFA in Visual Art from the University of East London.
She is represented in Milan by Galleria L'Affiche, and in New York by The Painting Center.
